Coming Soon to a Theater Near You

[DanielBenoit]

Brothers is a remake of a Danish film that was incredible! I don't know how I feel about it being redone but it's a great story and all the actors in the remake are capable sorts so I may actually go see it.

Why? Why is it that every film that comes out in Hollywood today has to be a remake of a perfectly fine European film?!?!?!? Yes I know, we already had this discussion in another thread, but still wtf? What's next? A remake of La Dolce Vita?

It's convenient, I suppose. I only found out about the Danish film a few days ago, after spending an hour or so looking for a good movie to watch on Netflix; whereas now I the trailer for the new one nearly every day. Also, I'm not the biggest fan of older movies, truth be told. Did you notice in my thread "Impactive Films" not one of the films I listed was released before 2000? It's weird, I only read old literature (mostly 19th C. stuff) and only watch the most modern films (21st C. with few exceptions).

You must learn the ways of the force and discover the wonders of Citizen Kane, Alfred Hitchcock and Apocolaypse Now. Hell, why not at least start out with Taxi Driver (1976), if not that then Pulp Fiction (1994)???

Hey btw, search Guy Maddin on youtube and watch his short film The Heart of the World, you'll be shocked to find out what year it was made

But the Danish version isn't that old, it came out in 2004 or 05. And it was a tremendous movie, I would highly recommend it. Not always easy to watch, it's incredibly depressing, like all good Scandinavian films should be.

Oh, is that so? I must have confused it with another movie.

According to IMBD, it was released in 2004 in Denmark and 2005 in England and the US.

The guy who played Jannik, the brother that was home, was amazing. I've seen him in several Danish films and he never ceases to impress.

Good grief, that was the movie I found. I just didn't look at the year! Well, the cover (the one I saw) looked oldish, compared to the new cover

Now that I've completely made a fool of myself...

I'm hearing A LOT of good things about the new documentary film Collapse.

I want to see Up In The Air sooooooooooooooo bad.

Green Bay I hate you for not bringing Where the Wild Things Are to your theaters! Now I have to drive to Appleton!

[DanielBenoit]

Alvin and the Chipmonks 2: The Squeakquel?
Some toothfairy movie starring the Rock?
WTF?


When Bela Tarr says things like this, “For me, when I see something at the cinema it is always full of ****.” sadly he's right.

Okay I've been whining too much but upon seeing the trailer for the Sherlock Holmes adaption, I was appauled. This is sooo typical of Hollywood. Take a brilliant work of literature with one of the most memorable of characters and turn it into some cartoonish Hollywood action picture. Yes I know it's based on a graphich novel, but next time choose a more appropraite character than Sherlock Holmes to star in your explosions film. Hell, a BBC television special would've made an infinitley better adaption.

-Avatar
-Nine

And why do people think that Brothers is a good movie, it's TERRIBLE.

I can't wait for Sherlock Holmeesssssss!!!!

I can't wait for Sherlock Holmeesssssss!!!!

I agree. Enough critics have said it's decent for me not to dismiss it simply by watching a preview. I think it'll be good.
